No it couldnt...I am pretty sure the President can only be the President if we are actually a country...You know if you dont beleive me you could look in the Constitution,OH WAIT there wasnt one when there was the Continental Congress so no.

We were a country the moment we declared ourselves to be one in declaring independence from Great Britain in 1776. The leaders of our first independent representatives (officials that did not derive their authority in any way from Great Britain) could be said to be our first presidents. And the government as outlined in the Constitution was not our first form of official government, the government outlined in the Articles of Confederation were, the Confederation Congress being the federal portion of that government, a descendent of the Continental Congresses.

All I have to say is what you have already said for me, "a descendent of the Continental Congresses." Meaning it would not be the Continental Congress...And if you want to look at it in a factual view, we recongnize George Washington as our first great leader and we have historically done so since the offical creation of the title of President of the United States of America. Nothing shall change this unless Congress and the President simultainiously agree to recongnize someone else as the First President of our country which as we all can agree is 99.99999999999999999999999% highly unlikley.

You posted an uncensored swear word. I edited it out, but consider this a warning: profanity is bannable on these boards, and you are responsible if something in your post gets through the profanity filter.
